No results posted yet for this study

Summary

People with ADHD often engage in risky behaviors, such as dangerous driving, substance abuse and gambling. Current behavioral economy theories differentiate between risk perception and risk attitude. This study aims to measure both risk taking and risk perception in adults with and without ADHD. It is hypothesized that people with ADHD show decreased risk perception, accounting for their risky behavior. In contrast, it is hypothesized that people with ADHD do not show increased risk attitude, namely, they are not risk seeking.
